Former Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha faces a long ban in Mexico after getting sent off again before launching into a furious tirade against officials and fans.

The fiery Portuguese is now in charge of Mexico City side Cruz Azul, who sit at the summit of Liga MX.

He's already serving a one-match touchline ban for a Copa Mexico game, but lost his cool again in a game against Tijuana, after he was sent off by ref Mario Humberto Vargas for arguing with the fourth official.

On his way to the tunnel – after having to be dragged away from the fourth official – Caixinha entered into verbal jousting with the home fans.

He then thumped his chest while being restrained as he tried to continue the debate with the home supporters in the stand.

It's the fifth time he's been in trouble with the Mexican football authorities in two spells at Cruz Azul and Santos Laguna with offences ranging from arguing with refs, pushing rival managers and having a tunnel brawl with opposition players and he's now set for a lengthy ban.

Caixinha shots back at the fans

His assistant, Joaquin Moreno, explained: "Pedro is someone who has a very strong personality and character.

"He's been suspended from the touchline before and we've won, so this will not be a problem for us."
